Hinderer XM-18 3.25 Flipper Folding Knife Magnacut Spanto/Black G-10 and Battle Blue Titanium

Built for serious everyday carry and hard use, the Hinderer XM-18 3.25 folding knife delivers the strength, precision, and reliability that have made Rick Hinderer’s designs legendary among knife enthusiasts. This compact powerhouse carries the same battle-tested design philosophy as its larger counterparts, offering exceptional durability in a size that rides comfortably in the pocket.

The 3.25” Spanto blade is crafted from CPM Magnacut stainless tool steel, one of the most advanced blade steels available today. Known for its outstanding edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness, Magnacut ensures this blade performs in demanding conditions. The Spanto profile blends the slicing efficiency of a spear point with the reinforced tip strength of a tanto, making it equally capable for detailed work or heavier cutting tasks.

Deployment is smooth and decisive thanks to the integrated blade flipper, allowing quick one-handed opening. Once deployed, the robust stainless steel framelock provides a rock-solid lockup you can trust when the work gets tough.

The handle combines strength, comfort, and signature Hinderer style. The front scale is constructed from durable black G-10, providing excellent grip and resilience in harsh environments. The rear handle is titanium with Hinderer’s striking Battle Blue finish, giving the knife a bold, rugged appearance while maintaining lightweight strength. A titanium pocket clip offers secure carry, and the integrated lanyard hole adds another carry option.

Measuring 4.5” closed and weighing 4.8 ounces, this knife strikes a perfect balance between portability and hard-use capability. Designed by master knifemaker Rick Hinderer and proudly made in the USA, it’s built to perform when reliability matters most.
